Excerpts: "But the Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing Stutzman warned that the precedent - not the dollar figure - is the problem. Kristen Waggoner, ADF senior counsel, said the award to Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson boils down to a government threat to Christians: 'Surrender your religious liberty and free speech rights, or face personal and professional ruin.' ... After observing the story on social media, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson sued Stutzman and Arlene's Flowers. Waggoner, the ADF attorney, said the Washington attorney general's action in this case is unprecedented.
'We have never had an attorney general take the position that this attorney general has taken. And now the ACLU has piled on, and the same-sex couple has sued her as well,' the attorney said. 'And interestingly, they have sued her in her personal capacity as well as her business, so she is at great risk. As a result of serving someone, lovingly and admittedly in a kind way for nine years and because you won't do one same-sex wedding, you're going to lose your house or your business. And she's been working in this business for 40 years.' ...
Hate mail to turn your stomach.
The story was distorted in the media. Stutzman's flower shop shop was flooded with insults, threats and offensive comments on social media sites such as Yelp, Google Reviews, Facebook, Dexknows.com, FlowerShopNetwork.com and Yellowbot.com. 'I've read a lot of hate mail over the years, but what I've read in this case just is stunning. It makes you sick to your stomach,' Waggoner said. 'Just volumes after volumes, thousands of pages.' 'People are filled with hate and refuse to even listen to what the real story is,' Stutzman said. 'It's just so sad.'
'This is about marriage. It's not about bigotry. She knew of their relationship. She provided flowers that they sent to each other. But when it came to marriage, that was the line, because, as she'll tell you, marriage represents the relationship of Christ and His church. It's a sacred, a very sacred thing,' Waggoner said.
'This case in particular is coercing someone to engage in expression, and that's against America's tradition, and it's unconstitutional. It's also unnecessary. There are lots of florists. If you look in the tri cities area, there are like three pages in the yellow pages that could have served this couple. They've even admitted that after they received enough offers for free arrangements to do 20 different weddings. But yet, what's being set up here is that's not good enough. It's not good enough that there are other florists. We have to coerce everyone to do what we want them to do, even if it violates their religious convictions.'"

News: Franklin Graham Is Calling On Christians To Boycott The So-Called Gay-Friendly Corporations
Excerpt: Franklin Graham has it right and he is calling on Christians to boycott the so-called gay-friendly corporations. And he says he's doing his part by moving all the bank accounts for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association out of Wells Fargo because of its ad featuring a lesbian couple. Indeed, we must use all our strength to fight evil and money is no exception. "This is one way we as Christians can speak out..." Graham, who heads the Charlotte-based BGEA, wrote on Facebook over the weekend. "Let's just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against Almighty God's laws and His standards. Maybe if enough of us do this, it will get their attention." As of Monday morning, more than 92,000 people had approved of Graham's message by clicking "Like." More than 41,000 people had shared his message with their Facebook friends.
"Fight the moral decay that is being crammed down our throats by big business." - Franklin Graham
Type "List of gay friendly companies" (without the quotation marks), or something similar, into a search engine for more information about which specific companies support that which the Bible calls sin (i.e., homosexuality, same-sex "marriage", etc.) , and which companies do not support this type of sin.

Pastor W.J. Mencarow Reviews and Recommends the Puritan Hard Drive
Pastor W.J. Mencarow
(Reformation Church, Boerne, Texas - San Antonio area)
The Puritan Hard Drive is the must have digital learning device for Puritan and Reformed studies.
Nothing like it has ever been available before!
There is no other way to get such easy, convenient and inexpensive access to so many great works from the best Reformation and Puritan preachers and teachers, past and present -- and the study software on the Puritan Hard Drive is out of this world in terms of usefulness!
If necessary, sell what you have (that does not draw you closer to God) to get the Puritan Hard Drive, and prayerfully use it until you become, by the Lord's sovereign and sanctifying grace, the most extraordinary Christian you can be (for His glory!).

Mencarow (Reformation Church, Boerne, Texas - San Antonio area, https://worldunderchrist.wordpress.com/ and on Sermonaudio at https://www.sermonaudio.com/reformation), Author, Editor of The Paper Source Journal, and has been interviewed on numerous radio and TV programs including "Good Morning America," most networks and in major U.S. newspapers and magazines, etc.
